As soon as he got back to the camp, Daxue ran to a familiar place. In a blink of an eye, he got delicious food from Dianthus, and took it to the side and bit it with relish.

Shizhu knew that Zisang and the others were back when she saw Daxue, so she rushed forward and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, I want to tell you a strange thing."

He has always been secretive about big things, Zisang and Bai Yunmo are no longer surprised, and each bypassed him to enter the account.

"Really, this is very strange." Shi Zhu was ignored, and continued to talk gloomily.

"Just two days ago, a few soldiers from Dongchi drove a carriage and threw it under the wall of the building."

At this point, Shi Zhu stopped, looking like she wanted to show off.

Bai Yunmo has never been interested in other things, she has already put away the box this time, and is going to go to the old military doctor to see if there is anything she can help with recently.

When Zisang heard that it was related to Dongchi, he asked, "What did you give?"

"Send a woman."

Bai Yunmo just walked to the tent and felt a little interesting, turned around and asked, "Why would Dongchi send women to the army?"

"I don't know, the general doesn't seem to let others know. I saw it when I went to deliver food, but it's not a gorgeous woman. There's a big scar on her face."

Zisang and Bai Yunmo were stunned at the same time, they thought of a person at the same time.

"Where is she now?"

Zisang's suddenly raised voice startled Shi Zhu, and the complacency on his face immediately dropped a little bit, and he pointed in the direction of the army tent with a guilty conscience: "I seem to live in the small tent next to the general."

Bai Yunmo also put the suitcase on her back to the side and left the tent with Shang Zisang.

She remembered that since Zisang entered the palace, Bai Yunmo had never seen Nan Wu again, she almost thought that she would never see Nan Wu again.

Unexpectedly, the three of them would meet again in this barracks.

Zisang followed the direction pointed by Shizhu, and found the small tent, which was not very eye-catching, but it was also a place to store sundries.

When the curtain was lifted, a shadow in front of him immediately stood up, holding his sword.

The two faced each other like this.

Nan Wu in front of him was still the same, dressed all in black, with long hair hanging behind his back, the sides of his ears were slightly tucked up, and the scar on his face was still conspicuous.

Zisang said slowly, "You're back."

Almost thought we would never see each other again.

Nan Wu loosened his hand on the sword: "Yes."

I didn't recognize him just now, but Zisang seemed to be a little different.

I remember when I first went to pick her up and go back to Baibi City, she was obviously a laid-back person, always smelled of alcohol, her eyes were always squinted, and when she looked at you, she was only laughing, but now she is covered in armor A sense of strength came out of it.

Behind Zisang came another person, who looked familiar, seeing her holding Zisang's hand before she left, Nan Wufang came to his senses, it turned out to be her.

She always appeared beside Zisang suddenly.

"Nan Wu, we will see you again."

"Ah."

Bai Yunmo then laughed: "I remember you didn't quite respond to my words before."

Nan Wuwei said more about other things.

"You killed the monarch of Dongchi?"

Zisang also felt that Nanwu was not the same as before, his eyes were always full of pain, this was the expression that Nanwu would never have in the past.

Hearing the words Dongchi Guojun, Nan Wutou lowered his head a lot: "No."

No, Zisang suddenly remembered Shi Zhu's words, she was sent by soldiers from Dongchi.

"Why did they send you back?"

Nan Wu didn't say anything, she seldom responded to Zisang's words, but this time she avoided her eyes.

"She is a swordsman, and the master is the king, and only when the king asks her, will she have nothing to hide."

Zhou Zai came in from the outside, frowning deeply. There is no doubt that the mission failed, but why Chi Yu would send back an assassin, he couldn't figure it out.

Afterwards, no matter what Zisang asked, Nan Wu didn't say anything, so he had to back out.

She asked Zhou Zai: "Just send her back, don't you have any other information?"

"Yes, Chi Yu wrote a letter, and he seems to be in a good mood." Zhou Zai took a piece of paper from the table and gave it to Zisang.

It's just a few words to expand: "On the day of my king's great joy, I received a great gift from the general. I dare not accept my life, so I return it."

"This Chi Yu is so arrogant."

Zisang couldn't help gritting his teeth, Nan Wuding experienced something unusual in Dongchi.

Otherwise, why is he more reluctant to talk than before, and even his standing posture is less straight than before, as if he has something on his mind.

Bai Yunmo carried the suitcase again, came over to hug Zisang in the tent, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Although I have a big heart, I am still a woman after all. If you really care about Nan Bi, I can't stand it. "

"Nanwu is like an old friend to me, and you are my wife. I know the difference."

Zisang squeezed Bai Yunmo's face: "It's you, who came up and held my hand as soon as you saw Nan Wu, lest someone else snatch your husband."

"No, although my mother is such a romantic person, I actually don't like it. I just want to have one in a lifetime."

"promise you."

After hugging quietly for a while, Zisang patted Bai Yunmo's back: "Okay, my little medical officer, don't you still have to perform your mission as a human being?"

Only then did Bai Yunmo adjust the crown belt: "Yes, my Highness."

The two laughed and parted ways, and Zisang put his bow on his back and wanted to go to the cliff boundary line to have a look.

As soon as I arrived at the edge of the cliff, I ran into Li Juli who was going together.

"You are back." Li Juli patted the ice wall next to him and said, "How is it? Does this wall look good?"

The ice wall added to the line of the cliff was extended by another Zhang Xu, blocking the wind and the distant scenery, and the ice edges emitted a faint blue light.

Zisang nodded: "Looks good. Is everything along the line raised?"

"Added, but the situation at the mouth of Huifeng Valley is not very good."

"how?"

"It's sinking into a big piece, you go and see for yourself."

At the entrance of Huifeng Valley, many soldiers with bows and arrows stood behind the ice wall, looking like they were doing nothing.

When Zisang stepped forward, he saw that the place where he could lie down and shoot arrows had gone down a lot, and there were still many arrows strewn here and there.

It turned out that if there was a landslide at the edge, the soldiers could just step back, but now there is a pile of ice bricks all over the back, and there is no extra space for shooting arrows.

And Dongyin's fortifications in Fengguya have also made great progress, and many more manpower have been dispatched.

After the new first month is the month of fate, the army is getting more and more tense, according to the time, the left deputy general should have arrived in Fengzhou no matter what, but they haven't been reported for a long time.

Zhou Zai then sent several express letters to Cui, saying that the war was urgent.

On the third day of the Ming month in the seventh year of Qing'an Jia in Nanliang, dozens of fast horses were sent in succession and finally got a letter from General Ma of Fengzhou: "Let's go on the road immediately, and we will arrive at Jingxuanguan in the middle of the Ming month."

This could be regarded as a sigh of relief, but in the end it was still angry. Dongchi had already made complete preparations, but Nanliang was still in a panic about deploying troops.

Coming out of the camp, Zhou Zai rode his horse to the mouth of Fenggu again, Zisang had nothing else to do, so he followed the general as his attendant.

Dongchi soldiers did not dig down the soil these two days, but knocked on the shelf made up of climbing ladders while driving.

Everyone didn't know what the Dongchi soldiers were doing, and they were at a loss.

"It will be troublesome if things change suddenly." What Zhou Zai is most worried about now is that Dongchi's attack will suddenly advance. Only relying on the tens of thousands of people in his hand to guard this Taniguchi, he may only be able to hold on for a few days.

Looking at the more than [-]-foot ladder frame, Zisang had to admire the hard work and patience of the Dongchi people. During the previous construction period, Dongchi soldiers were shot down by bows and arrows every day, but someone would fill it up immediately. The entire fortification has never been blocked.

This is enough to show that Dongchi has already regarded this place as a must-attack place. She asked Zhou Zai: "If the opening is opened, how long can we compete with Dongchi with our current strength?"

"The opening is not too long. We have the advantage, but Dongchi has the advantage in numbers. If we stick to it in time, we can only last for seven or eight days."

But the price will be extremely heavy.

"Can you make the ice wall thicker and higher?" Now there is a four to five feet high ice wall on the cliff of Returning Wind Valley, which can cover the height of three or four people.

"But it's tantamount to holding on. I've seen the wall climbing ladders made by Dongchi. They are different from ordinary ones. They are short and can be directly chiseled on the wall. It is not difficult to cross the ice wall. We will be able to stand behind it." It is impossible to be in a passive confrontation.”

Zhou Zai clenched his fists and his eyes were firm: "We must gather troops and take the initiative to attack."

Nanwu's food for the past few days was delivered by Zisang to the tent, and Bai Yunmo followed him every time.

Nan Wu ate very little, and immediately lost a lot of weight. Bai Yunmo saw him and said, "Could it be that you're sick, I'll feel your pulse."

But before she touched anyone, Nan Wu's sword hilt blocked her. .

After coming out, Bai Yunmo also felt strange: "It's really changed, no matter how fierce it was before, it's not like this, it feels a bit crazy."

"What is madness?"

Zisang saw that Nanwu was getting more and more haggard day by day, and his eyes were always a little red, so he was like Bai Yunmo, wondering if Nanwu was really sick.

"It's just like encountering very bad things, not dealing with them in your heart, and being unable to control yourself, you will become completely different from before."

"Is there any medicine?"

Bai Yunmo shook her head: "No."

"Is there a disease that a miracle doctor can't cure?"

"It's called heart disease. Only when you know the root cause can you find a solution, but seeing how she doesn't want to say anything, how do you know the root cause?"

It turns out that there is still such a disease, but people like Nanwu, even if they are bleeding like rivers, can't even kill two innocent boys without blinking, and there are still some worries in their hearts.

On the tenth day of Mingyue, there are still thirteen days left before Spring.

In the main army's tent, there were several letters spread out on the table, all of which were itinerary reports from the reinforcements, and it was said that they had already passed through Xianzhou.

Such a marching speed is simply insufficient and unreasonable.

"It's clearly intentional. I'm lazy. What's the purpose?" Kuang Xun was already a little violent. Looking at the itinerary report he received in the past few days, he was so angry that he yelled.

If it continues like this, whether the spring will come is a problem, not to mention that the fortifications of Dongchi have already taken shape.

"Vice-general Zuo didn't say anything, it seems that he has never heard a letter saying what's going on?" Although Zi Sang didn't have a thorough understanding of the military affairs, he felt that there was something strange in it: "Send another team to meet him. "

Zhou Zai also meant the same thing. He ordered a hundred people to set off to the west again, and asked for a military order to make General Ma speed up his march.

After a cadre was about to leave, Zisang was full of worries: "How is the situation in the capital?"

"Your Majesty is not feeling well, and has been sitting in court for several days, but he is holding himself up to participate in the criticism of important matters in the Council of Directors."

"He has already decided to pass the throne to Fang Zhonghou."

Zhou Zai was silent for a while when he heard the words, he said: "If this battle can be won, I will hold 10,000+ soldiers in my hand, and I can support anyone I want."

Zhou Zai asked Zisang, "Are you really determined not to be Shijun?"

"Fang Zhonghou would not be a good emperor."

Zhou Zai put his hands behind his back, looking at the map of Nanliang's territory hanging beside him: "Even if he is established, the country will definitely be full of blood and rain."

"It's really changing me, and there will be a bloodbath." Zi Sang knew Zhou Zai's meaning after reading the blood edict given to Zhou Zai by the king last time.

Zhou Zai clearly knew that the king meant to let Zhou Zai retire and protect her, but he still had a glimmer of hope that she could intervene in this battle for the throne.

Because in Zhou Zai's view, to be a Shijun, you should have your own stand and position.

In the past few days, Zisang has thought a lot about the throne.

From the very beginning, she never thought about becoming a master, and she was just coerced by Nan Wuban to go to Baibi City in the beginning.

Even when she was in the palace and dressed in fine clothes every day, she still never thought about becoming a king, after all, she saw all the bitterness of Grandpa Wang.

But after slowly leaving the palace, she was moved.

Everyone stayed in their positions, the Nanliang soldiers in the army, the generals, and even the Dongchi soldiers were doing what they were supposed to do.

And Bai Yunmo, many soldiers in this army have nothing to do with her, but she only works hard on the principle that the doctor helps others.

As for her, as a Nanliang Shijun, she is always timid.

Zhou Zai was unwilling to support Fang Zhonghou, let alone Pu Liang as king, so he didn't say anything about Duke Qing Xi wanting Zi Sang to go back to seclusion. He still maintains his own point of view when he mentions it again: "With military power in hand, even if there is civil strife, we can quickly quell it."

"Then... when the time comes, return to the capital as soon as possible." Then go back and talk to Grandpa Wang in front of him.

"Decided?"

Zisang grabbed the rein in his hand, looked at the endless ice wall in front of him, and replied, "Yes."

That's it, you have to do something to look good, like what Bai Yunmo said, if you really don't want to do anything, then you don't look like that, as a human being, you have to do something other than drinking and dreaming in this world.

"General, come and see."

At this time, I heard a report from a soldier in front, and it seemed that the fortifications stationed in the cliff at the East Pool at the mouth of Huifeng Valley were moving again.

Zhou Zai hurriedly inspected it immediately.

The return-shaped ladder frame that was originally stationed in the cliff was slowly tilted upside down by Dongchi soldiers at this time, and after being trimmed, it took on a ladder shape as a whole.

It is as if a ladder was forcibly paved in the original cliff, and then the ladder was continued to be chiseled upwards to build ladders on this ladder.

The advantage of this is that the soldiers in Dongchi will be able to walk up almost as if walking on the ground.

No wonder even hundreds of soldiers who were shot to death every day risked their lives to complete such a fortification.

Once the cliff face is pierced, Dongchi's attack will be fearless.

Zhou Zai was also silent this time, he had always lined up troops on the battlefield, and Chi Yu's practice was unprecedented.

"Keep laying bricks."

At least they still have the upper hand and are currently only short of troops.

Seeing the battle in Dongchi, the soldiers in Nanliang also began to feel a little scared in their hearts.

Although a high ice wall has been built along the cliff boundary line, it can be imagined that after the ladder under the East Pool is repaired, it can be directly attacked.

There are only tens of thousands of them in the battalion now, how could they withstand the impact of more than 20 troops, and their morale began to slowly decline again.

In this way, the main general's tent was lit until dawn again, and Zisang often came out of it, roughly knowing that Zhou Zai was distributing the defense line.

He counted 20 soldiers, but the reinforcements disappeared in the past two days. What happened.

Zisang couldn't help sighing softly under the blanket, sleeping in her arms, Bai Yunmo raised her head when she heard the voice: "It's about the military again?"

"Well, the premonition is not very good."

It is obviously an extremely urgent matter, so how could it be procrastinated for no reason.

"Anyway, they have to deal with the affairs in the army." Bai Yunmo said in a softer voice: "I won't lose, right?"

Although Bai Yunmo didn't have so many wounded soldiers to take care of in the past few days, she often went to and from the army and heard more rumors among the soldiers.

Dongchi's menacing and confident approach has made people daunting. Before the war started, he didn't feel anything in Guanzhong every day.

But the war is approaching, and everyone's mind is heavy.

Zisang hugged her: "Grandpa Wang's health is getting worse and worse, Mo, can you go back to Baibi City and take care of his old man for me?"

"My master is here."

"But you can rest assured with me."

"Stop talking, I won't leave you." Bai Yunmo buried her head in Zisang's arms again and cut off Zisang's words.

Isn't she just thinking about starting a war, afraid that the result of the battle will not be satisfactory? Since she has made the plan to stay, she won't leave easily.

No one dared to think about failure, Zisang sighed and turned to another one: "Zhou Zai said, if you win, you will bring your troops back to the capital and embrace me as king."

Bai Yunmo wasn't surprised. When she was in Acheng, her mother said that Zisang had this idea, but she didn't have a clear mind and needed time to think about it: "Have you decided?"

Zisang replied, "It's decided."

Even if the dust has settled, Bai Yunmo still feels a little pity.

It's a pity that in the past, the dream of spending a lot of time in the past, returning to Baibi City, maybe what kind of bloody storm, but her voice was still quiet, and she said calmly: "Okay, you go back to Baibi City to be your monarch, and I will still return to you." Let’s be a medical officer in the Medical Affairs Bureau.”

"This victory will eliminate external worries, and return to Baibi City to clear up the internal strife. If I am king, I will marry you as queen."

"Study Gong Yijin?"

Bai Yunmo smiled, and said in Zisang's arms: "Back then, Gongyi Jin had some relationship with our Bai clan, but he didn't marry into the palace."

"Then you can't be like the members of the Bai family back then."

"it is good."

"Okay, let's talk about it. I have to promise you a beautiful wedding robe in red."

Gold, silver and jade decorations, Zhu Pixia clothes.

Nan Wu stared blankly at the picture scroll in his hand, in the picture she was wearing a wedding gown, and in the picture she was turning her face sideways, looking at Feng Ge who raised her eyes slightly to meet her chin.

The painting is really good, the smile on the corner of Feng Ge's mouth is exactly the same, but the person who drew this portrait also appeared beside Chi Yu.

It was also during these days that she slowly went through the things she encountered in the last few days in Dongchi in detail, and she roughly understood them.

When Zi Zai killed someone in front of Mr. Xiuyue, her identity was slowly dug out.

A powerful person like Feng Zengnian might have become suspicious the first time he saw her.

But is Feng Zengnian a human being, or Feng Ge's father, who made people lie down behind the courtyard on the night of the portrait, trying to take her life, so that Feng Ge would not have to suffer such hardships.

But Feng Zengnian was a minister after all, and Chi Yu still restrained him first, and the wedding went on as usual, but it was very different from what he had originally thought.

What is Feng Ge doing now, Nan Wu fixedly stared at the painting, thinking about what Chi Yu had said to her.

'Before the war, you can bring Zhou Zai's head to this king, and she will return it to you. No one cares about where you want to go. '

Zhou Zai was in the tent next door, and she could even hear the sound of his clenched fists beating the table.

According to the Nanliang Army, the spring station is still half a month away.

Although Zhou Zai is good at martial arts, he is not as good as a swordsman who has used a sharp sword since he was a child, let alone he is defenseless against himself now.

Nan Wu is confident that he can kill Zhou Zai with a single sword.

Holding the painting in her left hand and the sword in her right, she struggled like this every night, and she never thought that there would be such a day.

As swordsmen, we have always only thought about one thing, and that is to obey the Patriarch's orders and kill those who deserve to be killed.

She could have easily killed Zhou Zai.

However, Zhou Zai is the general of Nanliang, and Nanliang has nothing to do with her as a swordsman, but Nanliang is the country of the patriarch, Duke Qingxi.

The swordsman can't do things that harm the Patriarch. This is the mission order that the swordsman has recited day and night since he was a child, and he has long engraved it in his heart.

What's more, if she kills Zhou Zai, what will Zisang think of her, she will always kill people, and kill people around her.

With a picture of a beauty in one hand and a blood-stained sword in the other, it weighs more than a thousand catties.
